Filet Mignon With Bacon Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Pour heavy cream into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until the cream has reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about an hour. Remove from heat and whisk in the Gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg, until the cheese has melted.
• Season the beef tenderloin with lemon pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside. Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove the steaks from the grill and tent with foil to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve each steak with the Gorgonzola sauce and top with crumbled bacon and chopped green onion.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Brush the filets with olive oil, and cook on the preheated grill to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium rare). An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Set the steaks aside on a platter tented with aluminum foil to rest.
• While the steaks are resting, prepare the sauce: cook and stir the chopped bacon in a small saucepan over medium heat until the bacon pieces are crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the butter and shallots, and cook and stir until the shallots are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir in the half-and-half, bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve over the steaks.

Steps:

• Bring filets to room temperature.
• On a plate combine the pepper and rosemary.
• Salt both sides of filets, then press one side into pepper mixture to form a crust.
• In a very hot, heavy skillet add a little olive oil (this will keep the butter from burning) and butter (for flavor).
• Sear filets until desired doneness is reached. (About 6 minutes on each side for large filets to reach medium rare.).
• Remove to cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (this will allow time for the juices to redistribute and stay in the meat instead of on your plate).
• For the sauce, combine broth and pepper. Reduce to half.
• Add whiskey, cream and mustard; reduce to desired amount.
• Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
• Serve steaks whole or slice thinly and top with sauce.

Steps:

• Sauce:.
• At least two hours prior, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, horseradish, mustard and lemon juice; cover and place in refrigerator.
• Steak:.
• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position, place rimmed baking sheet or cast iron griddle on oven rack, and heat oven to 450 degrees.
• When oven reaches 450 degrees, heat 10-inch heavy-bottomed skillet (not nonstick) over high heat on stovetop until very hot, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rub each side of steaks with 1/2 teaspoon oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• Wrap 1 slice bacon around circumfrence of each filet, overlapping ends and securing to meat with toothpick.
• Place steaks in skillet and cook, without moving steaks, until well-browned and a nice crust has formed, about 3 minutes.
• Turn steaks with tongs and cook until well-browned and a nice crust has formed on second side, about 3 minutes longer. (watch carefully).
• Hold filets on their sides briefly with tongs in skillet to crisp bacon slightly.
• Remove pan from heat, and use tongs to transfer steaks to hot baking sheet in oven (which has been lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking oil).
• Roasting times:.
• Very Rare: 2 to 4 minutes (center of steaks will appear cherry red and feel very soft and loose when cut with tip of paring knife),.
• Rare: 4 to 6 minutes (centers will appear red and soft),.
• Medium Rare: 6 to 8 minutes (centers will appear pink and feel firm but juicy).
• Medium: 8 to 10 minutes (centers will appear light pink and feel firm and compact).
• Transfer steaks to large plate; loosely tent with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with horseradish sauce.
